In 1999, we bought George’s great grandfather’s farm established in 1891 and moved to Iowa.

Honey Creek Creamery has two main products: Goat Milk Gelato and Chevre. Honey Creek Creamery is only one of two certified dairies in the country crafting goat milk gelato. What’s the scoop? Institutional ice cream and gelato are often made from powdered cows’ milk. We create our own gelato base from fresh, farmstead goats’ milk. Our chevre has received top national awards for its cheese at the ADGA Cheese competition in Boise, ID. Simply Pure received second place and Little Italy and Cranberry Horseradish took third place in 2015. Since our goats browse the Loess Hills, this gives our cheese a one-of-a-kind flavor found nowhere else in the world.
